For yeast try Crossmyloof as they are postage included well respected retailer on this forum

The Range

We get our kits from the range and they are great value and quality.

I am not sure how much brewing gear they sell it may depend on the size of the store near you.

It is a shame that the high street is slowly losing its homebrew grip but it is the same with most things going online these days

I'm surprised the one in haverfordwest isn't closing. The have a homebrew section but only seem to stock stuff at random. One week they have no yeast, another it'll be cider or wine yeast only... You could never take up home-brewing based on their stock.

That could be a supply problem everybody is suffering the same, things disappear off the shelves then appear a week or two later in floods then dry up again. The supermarkets are suffering from it but at least it is generally a glitch in the product production supply of materials and then the logistics of getting it to the warehouse/stores with the shortage of drivers.
I use Toolstation a lot and tried to order 2 different items and both were not just out of stock at store but unable to order online either. Sign of the times

Thanks. I did check out my local Range when I started but I was only looking for bottles so may have missed more general home brew stuff. I’ll take another look.

Thanks for the great tip. I’ve just ordered their general Ale Yeast, and you’re right - postage included! (Though I added 50p for the 1-2 day service.) As I said, I can understand paying postage on heavy or funny-shaped goods but I’ve been disappointed to find that all the big mail order businesses I’ve tried seem to want to charge the same £4 or £5 to send a small sachet of yeast. If I get on with their yeast they’ll become my go-to suppliers.

Sure I know that but this is a long term thing

That'll be because of the lack of truck drivers :tinhat:

Did you see some of their new 4 legger units, that's a disgrace for their drivers.

Popped in to our local Torquay store last week , homebrew section was virtually empty , couple packs of lme,dme .
One pack of stabiliser and loads of packs of campden tablets and one wherry kit
